Bethany Cosentino - Natural Disaster

Having risen through the ranks as half of Best Coast, Bethany Cosentino breaks off and bares all with her solo debut, ‘Natural Disaster’. Setting aside her LA cool-girl aesthetic, she finds a new start exploring her more vulnerable side and emerges more down to earth than ever.

While her work with Best Coast was definitive of the surf-rock style, ‘Natural Disaster’ sees Bethany take to Nashville. The opening title-track brings distorted guitars and a big chorus reminiscent of her previous work, but the album leans more heavily into a new country sound as it goes on.

Her croons remain beautiful and thought-provoking, and her talent shines through; there is a definite sense of indulgence as she explores her sound. This is just the start for an artist rekindling her individuality.
